WEDNESDAY EVENING, December 3, 1815. Sfnte House The oloiing recommendation of the Governor1! Message, relating to a new State Houae and Public Buildings, cannot full to strike with force the mind of all who have hud an opportunity of inspecting for themselves, the dilapitated, inconvenient and unsafe buildings in which the business of legislation is now transacted. Those who have ever witnessed the public buildings of even the younger Western State, to ay nothing of the magnificent structures of the East, would not consent that the work of the new State House should bo protracted a day longer than is absolutely necessary for the erection of work that will do honor to the character and public spirit of the third State of the Union in point of population and the first in agricultural wealth. The following ii the puasage of the Message alluded to : The necessity for the construction of new Public Buildings for the transaction of the business of the State, and the safe keeping of the Public Records, must be apparent to every observer. The interests of the State, and public opinion, alike demmnd that the work of the new State House should be no longer suspended. The subject is worthy of your immediate attention, and, 1 trust, will not be overlooked. "Mystcriea of Iniquity ("Developments! In our columns of to-day will be found an article from the columns of the U. S. Gazette, in connection with a letter from Hon. John Si.oank, of Wooster, Ohio. This Idler in quoted from the pages of tho forthcoming work nf Calvin Cui.To,on the Life and Times of Henry Clay. It is a single link in a chain of testimony covering 1-10 pages of the work, going to vindicate once aud forever Henry Clay from Uie foul slanders heaped upon him. The testimony pre aented, in a connected form is, as we learn, complete, irresistible; aud must establish the conviction in the minds of the men of this country, thai Henry ('lay has been the victim nf a slander propagated and perpetuated by means that for turpitude and infamy are Unequalled by any thing ever before developed in the political history of this country. The course pursued towards Dr. Witt Custom and Judge White bear no parallel in enormity to that of towards Mr. Clny. We rejoice in our inmost souls, that Henry Clay has lived to see the dark landers exploded. From the publisher, Calvin Colton, we have received a few of the proof sheets of his work on the Life and Times of Henry Clay, in anticipation of its publication. Our only regret is that this work, commenced immediately after the Presidential Election, according to announcements made at that time in the public press, could not have been completed before the death of Gen. Jackson, that he too might have seen the man he pursued with so much malice, rising triumphant above his machinations. Not that we could have wished harm to him, hut that the ends of justice might be fully secured. The work will soon be issued, rininileld mid Lehigh Dank Notes. We are informed that notes on these banks are circulated to aoino considerable extent in Ute northern part of the State and some few of them are seen in this neighborhood. The banks of this city, we are informed, decline receiving them, and as the banks by which they are issued are foreign institutions whose credit is by no means well established, at least in this State, this seems to be the course demanded by prudence, and a proper regard to their duty to the public, which is, as far as practicable, to furnish to the people of the State a currency of unquestionable value. The people of tit is Stale havo already suffered severely from giving circulation to the paper nf foreign banks of doubtful credit. Aud we trust that the banks of this Stat will not aid in giving credit to such paper, e socially where there is reason to believe that it has not been introduced into the State iu the course of ordinary business transactions. flrThc "Union," at Wonhigtoii, announces that Messrs. Blair eV Hives, are not candidates fur Uie printing of Congress, and therefore will not be in their way. We have looked in vain for some expression from the Locofnco press in favor of bestowing the printing of Congress to the lowest hi J tier. This mode nf disjosingof surh work seems to have gained favor very greatly with Eocnfnco in these parts, t litre the lute Mention. Of course there is nothing suspicious in such new born teal. JoilH Bt,LI.,of Tennessee, one of those noble Whigs who never strike their colors aud never say die," has been called upon by a portion nf the Whigs of the Hermitage diitrict, of Tennessee, to allow his name to be used as a candidate for the vacancy in the Congressional delegation in that State. It is supposed he will comply with the call, and in that event tho other Whig named for the post will withdraw. Gen. liar-row, editor of the Dinner, has already expressed his readiness to withdraw, if Mr. Bell consents to run. We shall hail the return of this veteran to Congress, aa a token of brighter diy for the llnmn. Ft rL at Cisrunm. Owing to tho low stage of water in the Ohio Hirer at this time, fuel is very high at Cincinnati, and then is a fear of suffering among the poor. Coal has suddenly run up from II and lit, lu !20, and even IMI cents jar bushel, and ia w iling rapidly at that price. The spirit of speculation has done its part to produce this extraordinary advance, for even the alwolule necessaries of life arc made to administer to human cupidity, and the universal rage fur gain. Such is bona led human nature. Wood h advanced nearly at the saute rute, and is wiling at $3 AO and $4 (Xlpercord. Most of Uie fuel consumed at Cincinnati is boated to thai place, and the unsualty low stage of water, at Uiia season of Uie year, has prevented the laying in of a full stork. Area mid Nor There are some men who would prefer notoriety for tho mischief Uiey can do, rather thnn submit to pass along without obtaining more notice than thousands better men around them secure. They sometimes get into legislative bodies, and we havo a suspicion Uiat aueh are in the body now in session in this city. If called upon to frame a wise and salutary measure requiring an exercise nf mind, reflection and investiga tion, they would shrink from the task in alarm, and br compelled to confess their own deficiencies. Hut they ran find ways ami means of occupying a great deal time, in retarding the adoption of a wise measure with scarcely an exercise of forethonght; they can find a plea for occupying the lloor fifty times a day, and yet do no good either for themselves or others, and such men, when every thing else fails are always ready for the "ayes and noes" even on a question alnrnt snuff- lug out a candle. It has occurred to us that the ap paratus descriN d below by the Boston Transcript, for taking the ayes and noes. Would expedite much Uie labor of a Legislature possessed of such men, and if in order, we would move that a Committee, two at ' least of which shall be taken from Hamilton, be ap pointed lu ascertain the expense of introducing Uie apparatus into the House i "The plan for taking the aves and noes, in all de. liherative bodies in the United States, for which C, Clcn Peebles, of Philadelphia, hna a patent, covers varied form. The plan ho purposes to adopt at present is as follows t Two pulleys or keys are placed within Uie desk of each member a board or slab is placed on Uie clerk's desk, on which is printed the name of each member of the house; slips or slides are placed in this slab, ruuuing parallel to and corresponding wiUi each name. Coinmuntcation is had by means of wires or nth'r material, between the keys in the desk and slides in the hoard. When a vole of "ayes" is called, the members simultaneously touch their key marked "aye," which throws the slide out on tho board, so thai it project beyond his name and the edge f the board ; and in like manner for the m noes." By that arrangement, the clerk can count the vote, announce the result and place the ag. gregate vote on Uie board, all within Uie space of one minute. A slip of pitpcmonlaiuiug the names of every member, to correspond with the names ami slides on the board, is an adjusted, Uiat when the slide are Uimwn out, (which are an pointed aa to receive ink,) an im pression is made Apposite each name ; and thus is the vote recorded for the use of the clerk or printer. Tin slide are so arranged that Ihey can then he returned, Where do they Stand. What do the members from Hamilton, the " un terrified and indomitable " members from the northwest, and their associates of Uie hard stamp in tho present Legislature, think of Uie view here ascribed to Mr. Ton by the Ohio Patriot, and assented to by the Statesman and Ohio Union? Who are these " certain others" whose extreme measures " are ao frequently alluded to by the Union and Statesman? Can tho untcrrified answer ? Coi Tuu's views. -The Ohio Patriot, after re. marking that there i every reason to believe that Mr. Tod does not countenance the prooilion of abandoning, for a time, all discussion of the currency qucHtion, adds: We are equally certain that he would deem it unwiec and untimely to go the length which certain others have suggested. He ia unchangeably in favor of the individual liability of bankers. Let this test be applied to the Whigs in the next legislature. If they reject it, as heretofore, then let them also vote down a proposition for tho unconditional repuat of Uie present monster bank bill. Place these issues before the peo. pie let Ike Democracy rally upon them in pood fed' ing tuxA the result will show a splendid victory. The Whigs have no objection to the issues proposed. Bring them on as thick aud fust as you please, if you are not satisfied with the verdict rendered. More T brunts in the Dnrkl Wc must protest against such ambiguous allusions as are found in the following, from the Ohio Union, a paper Uiat assume with Uie Statesman and Plaindeal. er, to lead the "nnterrifiud democracy" of Ohio. They oannot be justified by any code of warfare known among straight-forward politicians of the present day. Although they arc directed against opponents, the public have a right to know who are their legitimate leaders, and wear the collar of thu leader of all tho faithful : The first suggestion of another mint in place of David Tod, was, we believe, made in this vicinity, by professing peculiar thirds the altruists of this vicinage, the Simon Pure Bank-hutcr. We have long huh pec ted the Bank Influence, of operating through these Impmctieulilrs: more efficient coadjutors they could not obtain than the hp " numo.muniaes" as tho Patriot denominates men of this kidney. They make our parly ridiculous, at all events, whether they bo really insane or only " mad in crnft," Ohio State Ilottrd of Agriculture. We copy thu following notice from thu Ohio Cultivator of Monday last : It will be remembered that an adjourned meeting of the Board will take place at Columbus, ou Wed ties-day, the Kith day of December. As the Legislature will convene on the 1st, this will be in good m ason to consult with the committee and members of thai body in relation to the paiwuge of a law, or laws, for the promotion of Agrie ulture. Let there be a full attendance, and the right spirit manifested by the friends of the cause throughout thu State, and the best result OHIO LEGISLATURE. iay ins exiieeted. Ml'MBKH or or th k noAitn who were not present at Hie last meeting and cannot attend this, will oblige the other members by sending word whether it will be in their power to attend subsequent meet inn and assist in performing the duties of the Board during the en-saing year. Colonization. We learn from the New York Journal of Commerce that the sum of $17,001) has been subscribed towards the purchase of the only territory not belonging to the American Colonies, between Cape Paliuas and Cipc Mount, a distance along the coast of about Il'lO miles. In thr? proposed purchase is included the famous slave mart of the Gallians. Only $:I M)'J more is required to effect this great object ; and without this additional sum, the $17,000 already subscribed is not binding. OT Auklink, a child of Mr. John Durant, living on High street, died this morning at u o'clock, A.

(JT Mr. M nam's remarks on the Printing Rcsolu- tioua, passed this forenoon, will lie given to-morrow. Glorious Temperance Hcvivnl. The Methodist Church was crowded last evening. in compliance with the call previously made on the friends of Temperance and the people of our city. It was just such a meeting as the best friends of Uie good cause have long desired to see in this city, and just such an one as the painful developments around u-t, have seemed to render necessary. Although disappointed in the arrange me nts for music, through the IforU nf a few friends of the cause a circle of whole soilled Woshingtonians, connected with the Methodist Church, were induced to attend and sing some admirable Temperance song. They deserve the thanks of all for their promptitude. Their labors infused new spirit into thu meeting. Kev. Mr. Moony delivered thu opening address. His appeal wo welt timed and well conceived, and all his remarks were delivered and received in the happiest spirit, although he was laboring under a severe indiioition. Mr. Tipton made a few remarks apologiitng for his inability to ad- ilress them owing to hoarseness and a prior engage ment. He pledged himself for another occasion to just such an effort as he is capable of making. Mr, Galloway delivered one of the most powerful addresses we have ever heard from him. He painted in life-like colors the course of many in our city who asKume to be and ought to be models to the young and less layered around them, but who am on the contrary using the influence of wealth, connections and station to breathe a moral pestilence, contaminate tho young, and sap the foundation of a virtuous soci- ty. They set up a standard which must end not onty in degrading themselves hut all around them. They contribute to build up an aristocracy of sots and idlers instead of a circle of worth and intelligence, from which shall emanate a healthy, life-giving influence, diffusing peace and happiness lo all classes and condi tion. They it is, he justly remarked, whore tard Uie progress of the Temperance Heformation. They, who, nf all others should take the lead and miniater at tho altar in every good work and word. We lrut his appeal and admonitions will be heard and felt, aud that the work an happily begun will progress with accelerated force and a yet untold influence for good. Onward: Onward! la now the word. At the close of the addresses TWO HUNDRED and FIVE numc were added to the Pledge. Among the signers were some whom we rejoiced to see taking (heir stand on the Temperance platform. Men with gray locks, and aged matrons, young minses in their teens, some nf our Wirthicsl young men, and even children combined to swell the host of Washing toman Reformers. Another meeting was appointed for Tuesday evening next, at the Second Presbyterian Church, at which time Mr. Tirnii, the eloquent Reformer, aud others, will deliver addresses. The report of Committees are also expected at the next meeting, Reai'tics or Lorororo Rhi.k. It la listed that the Hon. John Chambers, ex-Governor of Iowa, passed through Louisville three or four days ago, on his way to Washington city. It is said that he will, on his arrival at Washington, make a startling exposi tion of the frauds and rascalities of one or more gov ernment agents who have been operating in Iowa. Coanr.i TioR.

A message was received from the House of Hep. resentatives, informing the Senate that the House had disagreed to the amendment of the Senate to the resolution in re! u lion to the postage of members and lias agreed to the resolution of the Senate for the iipjMiintment of a joint select committee to fix the times of holding judicial court. 1 Mr. Perkins moved that the Senate do insist upon it amendments to thu resolution in relation to the postage of members. Mr. Wood called for a division of the question; and tho question turned upon insisting upon the first1 amendment which authorizes the payment by Uie State of postages " on such public documents as shall be ordered to be printed by the General Assembly." 't A discussion ensued, in which Messrs. Kelley, Goddnrd, Ewing, Perkins, Powell and Codding, pur. tic i pa ted. j Mr. Kelley remarked that if he were not at home here, he should be opposed to the payment by the State of the postages of members. But hu recollected having burnt Ins fingers last year, by taking a part in the discussion of this same question ; and he should therefore be careful how he put his finger in that can. die again. He would remark, however, that if the postages on letters was paid by the State, and lhat on , documents was not, he apprehended it would have the effect of greatly enhancing the amount of postage churged to the State. Members wishing to send a locument home, might, under those circumstances, 1 enclose them in the form of a letter, and thus subject the whole to letter postage and thus increase the postages four fold. Mr. Goddnrd said that, if by voting for the motion to insist, he could bring aboutacollissinn between the Houses, whereby tho whole resolution would be de- a ted, he should not lies i tut) how to cast his Vote. Senators tell us of the large amount of their postnge hill. Do they suppose that, if it were understood these postages were to be paid by themselves, they would bear any comparison to their present amount i The "franking privilege " now enjoyed by the members of Congress, is ouu nf great enormity aud in it effect greatly endangers the present law reducing the rntes ef postage. That law i one of thu very few ones panned by Congress, which he regarded as beneficial to the inn of the people. TIi'ih Legislature lant year memorialized Congrese for the passage of that law. With what consistency can we do so, while panning a resolution which gives to ourselves tln priv- lege ol franking letters anu documents f Mr. Ewing said hu was at no loss in relation to the vote he should givuon this resolution. He should rtmnly vote lor it, 1 he government of Ohio is costing the people comparatively nothing. Before the passage ol tlte niMcralile hiiiiilmg " retrenchment law, ours wa the mnct economical government in the world. He had never yet met with a man who was ipposed to the Slate paying the postage of members. ll wo in fact the postnge of Uie people upon busi- ss of the people and there is no reason why mem-rs should be saddled with itcx)enc. His postages at Uie last session amounted to near one hundred dol lars and he was informed that the postage of hi pre- ileceMor in Uiis House at the last session. wasuH ureal. It is out of the question to suppose members could rve here at two dollars a day, and he taxed at thai rate. Much a he loved honors, he was unwilling to pay for them at that rati. Mr. I'erkin said Uiat after members had made all their efforts at economy, they must either adopt this solution, or tall Dark upon the old system, which he ganled a far more exceptionable, b nder the old va in the Speaker wuh allowed this and the nniclice then was, for mcmlcrs to carry their letter and doc uments to him, to lie I ranked ! iNextlhe privilege was xtended to chairmen of committees and this rcliev- it Uie Sneaker somewhat, for the chairman Uien frank- 'd for the balance of the committee. Mr. ('milling was not only willing, but anxious that the resolution should paw in the form in which it came from the House. That body contain twice the number of Senators upon this lloor; and they have as oou a chance at least as ourselves, to judge of Uie feeling of the people. This is a small business ; and I tin Senate was driven with other bunine. In ihould think it a useless waste of lime to lie discti- ing this but as wc have yet but little to do, he did nut know but we might as well talk about Una, as a- iioiit anything else. The question was then taken on the motion to Inst, and resulted ayes l.r, noca H. So the Senate receded from Una amendment. The question then recurred on iiiHistinir upon the second amendment of the Senate, which limited the franking privcligo of members to " letters on public imiki iii-ps uriu res mini nyvm in, noes in. So the Senate receded from this amendment. A resolution wo received from the House of Rep resentatives, for the appointment of a joint select committee of IU members on the part nf the House, ami mcmlier upon the part of the Senate, to fix tin- tunes of holding courts for the ensuing year.

Mr. Cowan moved Uiat the resolution, relative to the House printing, be taken up; agreed to. An amendment was offered, subjecting the printing under tho resolution Iplho provision of the act passed Dee., IH44-WSL . Mr. Cowan moved to amend by striking out the whole resolution and inserting: Hcsolred, That Uie Clerk of the Houe be directed to have such printing done as may bo ordered by the House, upon such term and considerations a he may deem reasonable and just, until otherwise provided for. Mr. Olds spoke in opposition to the resolution. He supposed the object of all this wa to give the printing Hums puojisner or uie uino state Journal, lie, (uie publisher,) had done the dirty work of his party and now must have hi pay. If the majority were the friend of economy they profess to be, let them retain tho original resolution a amended on Monday. It the amendment mst ottered was adopted, he should offer another providing fur giving the printing to the lowewt bidder. He was not going to favor a proposition empowering the Clerk to nquonder away the public money for printing, in such manner as he might nose. lie concluded by innvmir a call of the Mount;; he intended to have a full vote on Uiis propo sition.

The question on strikinir out bcinir nut was deci ded in tiie alliruiative ; ays 41, noes ;tl. I he question then turned upon incrtuifr the amend ment proKed by Mr. Cowen. Mr. td moved to amend the amendment so as to provide that Uie Clerk shall give the printing to the lowest bidder. Mr. Olds continued and said that aathe conductor T the Ohio Stale Journal had slnined and probably would continue to abuse the member of the minority, they miil have their pay for it. He had been told, however, that Ihey would not do it for lens than had lieen demanded by Medury, and he winhed to see if it were so. Nothing surprised him more than the change lhat had been effected, in the minds of members, on this question, since Monday. He presumed however, that it wa in accordance with the dictate nf the tin-pan. He had been told that it was said that the Whigs hnd learned to submit to these tin-pan proceeding from the former practice of the Democracy. Nosiieh precedent, however, would justify the practice, lie called for the ayes aud noes on his amendment. Lost, aye 'Mt noe 41.

Mr. iiiggm made some remarks which eould not be heard. Mr. Noble said tlte minority were expressing their astonishment at the course of the majority on this printing business. He was equally astonished at the course of the minority. Their opinions had undergone a great change in the short stiaee o a twelve month lesl winter they voted No ! No ! on every proposition in reiiuee ute eoatoi printing; now they went it Ay Ay ! Just as if ihey hnd never learned to say No in their lives. He thought their eternal prating ahnul eonaistency rainr with a heautilul grace I mm them He advised them to try to remember their own course last winter. He should lie obliged to remind Utem of it, it Ihey did not succeed. Mr. Fiinn enquired whether the injunction obtained by Mr. Mcdary did not cover the printing which it wa proposed tn have done under the resolution now hefore Um Mouse f Mr. Cowen replied that it eould effect only the parties to the act of Isst winter. The present House were no parties lo thai law. 1 lie imunctinn wa on. erntive only upon by the officers of Suite, and stayed llietr proceeding under direction ol Ihe law ol the Legittlatorc. )) was not disposed tn discuss this question nf printing himself. He had no objection to others uttering llieir view. Heconmdcrrd the pre sent proposition a temporary one merely, under which the House eould procure it neeeary printing, till some other action might be had on the matter; either under the direction of Ihe proposed joint committee of the Senate, or under Ihe law of lal winter in case the proper Court shall not suit in the pending injunction. The minority might take the ave and noca on every question, he should not compfain. Mr. M tioi said it wa quite proper for gentlemen in Uie minority tn express, with freedom, their opinions in relation lo all measure promised by Ihe majority, ll was also proper, Uiat their conduct should be regulated by their own sense of what was due to the in-selves, a men and member nf tin House. Now the proposition before us ia a very simple one, having its origin in Ihe following ami instances, lly an act passed at the last session of thu General Asembly, the whole subject of public printing was provided Itir and carefully reguUled. The great principle of that law was lo secure to Ihe Male the bctieht nt competition ill the future execution of Ihe public printing. But Ute people have been deprived nf the ad v ail t aire of the priuctph of competition, which is the great regulator of prices, by a writ of injunction sued out by Mr. Medary, late Printer for Ute Stale, by winch uieontccra, to whom the execution wa Bounded, were restrained from making any contract for the public printing. Ami hence a law, intended tn secure a wise economy, in a branch nf Ihe public service, which had become, in the judgment of the peo ple, quite Ion extravagant, was unpendcd,and its object IV u ira led for tlte present at least. We met here under circumstance of peculiar cm. harraMiitent, ocenmnned bv Ihe writ nf inninrtion is-Rued by Ihe Supreme Court, on Ihe applies! ion nf a gentleman who ha long lieen Ihe organ of Ihe party lhat now reprosehe us wilh departing from the law of last session, and disregarding all our profession of economy. There ia certainly very little ground fbr thr minor-ity In reort to the language of hauler, and In inter pow nhfltructione In Ihe passage nfa resolution, which i intruded to make only a tentrry provision, fur so much printing as is imhpenMy nrcrsmry for lite ' despatch of Ute public huMiicsa. it wo ooute m plated, as he understood, to make oth er arrangements, to secure Uie printing for Ihe two nouses, uurmg uie session, De knew not the precise tenor ot Ihe proposed action of Uie other branch. We should not be too precipitate in our movements on this subject; nor did he deem it expedient to act definitely, until the decision of the Court was rendered on the injunction, now before it, and which suspended the law of last session from going into operation. 1 he rcBiKinsitnlity ol adiuting Una matter rested upon lite majority in the House ; and he had no doubt that the mujurity was ready to undertake it. ne was oe run uiy ready, tor ins own part. They would unquestionably make a just and reasonable contract, in an arrangement for the execution of the public printing, and one which they would be both ready and willing to discus here and before Uie people. The resolution before the House contemplated a he had already remarked, a mere temporary arrange- mem, won; u joigiu continue, mr a snort period of a week or two, or possibly to the end of Ute session, which would be but a few weeks at the utmost. Fur ther action would bo necessary to procure Uie printing of the journals and law, but it was not to be sup. posed Uiat Uiis, or thu previous printing which might be required, could be procured for terms quite as libe. rol a thoHe which would bo accepted under a long uoirnuiui Mrvuiai years. This, continued Mr. M., is a vmall matter about which to lake up the time of the House; and even if, as the gentleman of tho minority supposed, Uie printing should go to Uie State Journal office, he could discover no great public calamity in the fact especially a the opposing press had enjoyed Uie monopoly of it for some ten or a dozen years. lie thought it would be a happy circumstance if gentlemen, in the discussion of the I louse, could get into the habit of imupting to others, dillernig from litem in politics, motive equally good wilh those claimed by themselve. The intercourse of the House would be rendered much more agreeable by such a course, and its dignity much better sustained. Why should it be supposed that any or the whole of the member were knave or hypocrites? Wliy im-pugn their motives as if they were incapable of generous sentiments, ond of honesty? Hu appealed to his own heart for thu purity of hi own intentions, and for the sincerity of his action. It was not too late lor uieinoer to learn that there may be honest difference of opinion, which difference nre neither indicative of insincerity or dishonesty.

The motion tn strike out prevailed, whereupon Uie committee rose and reported. The bill, wiUi Ute pending amendments, waa laid on tho table. A message wa received from the Senate concurring in several resolution of Ute House, via : relative to appointing a committee to report a bill fixing Uie time of holding the Judicial Courts for the year to appoint a committee to procure the printing of the General Assembly; also, submitting a resolution directing the printing of ftOOO extra copies of Uie Governor a Message in English, and 3000 copies in German.Mr. Olds moved to strike out nOOU and insert 3000; also, to strike out the &HH) and insert JiOOO. Mr Trimble of Highland, hoped tlte House would neither agree to thu amendment of the gentleman from Pickaway, nor pass the resolution. There existed no public iteccsRity for the further publication of the message. It had already been widely dissemi. nnted through the fiewpcr,and is now m the hands of a large portion of Ute people of tlte Slate. Before the printing asked for could be done, the document would be read by every one who desired lo read it. The House at its last session very properly refused tn print extra copies of the message. There was now no good reason for departing from its example ; on the contrary, the duty which we owe to a people bur. denrd with taxation require of ua a rigid system of economy in our expenditure. He desired tn prac tice upon that aystem, and had determined tn do so a far a consistent with the high character and dignity of the legislature and the people. He was surprised lhat a proposition to incur tin needle expense should come from gentlemen who had been preaching econo. my wilh imminent danger to Uieir lungs, for the last three days, during the discussion on Uie printing nf Ihe House.' It seemed to him at the lime, very much ke Sntan rebuking sin. Not that he admitted Uiat the Whigs had sinned or intended to sin, in tins mat. her of the printing. I hey had mane no loitu prnte. sion of economy, but they would practice it, so far as they could. They needed no advice from the minority, nor did they think they could profit by the in. Nlructmn of men who never did practice what Ihey now profess who had, or whose partixan friends had swindled the Slate nut of thousand, aye, million of the public money. They, (Ute Whig,) intended to employ honet and capable men to do Uie public work, and In have it done well, and upon reasonable terms, and would give it to men in whom they hnd confidence. They could not consistently with Uicirduty,ortheir duly to the people, consent lo let ihe public printing go into the hand nf Sam. Medary or his satellite. Whatever bargain might lie mode with that man, neither guard or restraints would prevent lum, so "hi had he grown in iniquity, from somehow mNimgnig to cheat them, in spite of thciusclvc. He underwood loo well Ihe game of " oasse quire," and "constructive charm s, lo suit the nuriHwe of the honest por tion of the House. Should lie (Mr. T.) aid in giving the printing of the Hialrtna man whohn gmwn rirh by cheating the people of their money, the Democrats, well a Whiff "i ' conamucney, would unite in scouting him limit the county. Neilm-r would ne l .) consent to give uie pun. lie printing In any of Sam Medary tool who were JiRiigutg about the Hall hoping to entrap the Whig in to a posilion which would conniel the reception of rods from Uiem and whose humbug bids had been read here In teach the Wlngteconmny. They may Ik-honeat men, these hanger on, lint il they hud pn.imeii ny uie lemon of their principal, they would tml fail to cheat alo. He had voted againat all the propositions of tho gentleman from Pickaway, ottered as amendment to the resolution passed this morning, requiring the Clerk to procure the printing of the House to be done until otherwise ordered. He knew that in Uie course of a few days, there must be joint sction of the two Houses upon this subject. It seemed to him perfectly ridiculous for Uiis Houae to send it Clerk out to hawk about the printing of this House among hungry ..... B v.voi. tie anew, too, mat soma of Uie person waiting to make bids for this work were irresponsible persons, without even a press with which to do tho work. We have done as we had a ritrht to do in ennfidmw to the Clerk the power of carrying out, what he knows to be the wish and determination of every Whig member of this House to have tho work done upon fair lerins and in a proper manner. We have listened patiently for three days to the charge, made by gentlemen, impugning the motive, and misrepresenting the actions of Uio majority on Uiis floor, feeling perfectly secure in the integrity of our mouve,and the correct-ness of our action, and willing to irust the result of that action to the judgment of the people. This wa the first proposition to lest the sincerity of all parties on the question of economy, and he hoped all might unite on common ground in the matter. If all cuuld unite in practising as well as preaching economy, it would form a new era in the history of the state, which would be a the sunlight to the darkness of the pant. Mr. Olda wn rejoiced at the evidence of inteirritv on the part of the gentleman from Highland. He an w uu wo sincere, ny in countenance, tla was glad thai Uie gentleman was kicking out of the trace. He thought another tin-pan would have to be called to whip htm iu. The gentlemen had doubtless learned hi opinion of Sum. Medary from Whig papers. Mr. Trimble replied that he was certainly under oh, ligations to the gentleman, for his compliment to his integrity. He regretted that lie wa not sufficiently acquainted wilh the gentleman lo return them. Hu would be be tier able, toward the close of the session, to tell him what bethought of his integrity. The gentleman was mistaken in supposing that ho had received his opinions of Sam. Medary from Whig newspapers. He hod been indebted, in part, to tho Democratic leaders in his region of country for his opinions of thai gentleman. It hud been customary in his county, and in other portions of Ihe country, in Ute year 1HJ2, during Uio memorable war ujwn tho subject of the currency, (with which he believed the Dr. wa some what conversant,) fur portion of tho Democracy to speak of that gentleman in strong terms-of condemnation. He felt perfectly justified iu all ho had said about him, by what he had heard, a Uiuusand time repeated, by his own purtixan. The gentleman had manifested an extraordinary sympathy fur Air. Medary. They had been making speeches, making amendment and calling the ayes and uue fur three day to excite sympathy for lum, arouse suspicion against Ute Whig and make capital fur themselves. 'Iheir speeches were fur Buncombe. He thought gentlemen had mistaken Uieir Democratic constituent ; he knew Uiey had mitakcn his, if Uiey upKed they could make capital for themselves or ugauist other by talking about the injustice dune Medary or any of his men, by nut giving Uiem Uie printing of tin House, 'ihe honeat Democrats of thu country who labored for a living, pretty generally believed Medury had grown rich enough already by Uie public printing, and Uiey very naturally felt thai it would lie belter fur Uiem that their taxes should be di minished by an honest adiiimistraliun of public oil air, than that Medury or any body else should be eiinchtd at their cxiieliso. The Dr. is very unfair and uncharitable in another mutter. He adopts a very unfair rule of judging of men. That of judging other by himself. He Uimka tm-pati oiHTiiiiuu will be necessary to teach me how to act as one of tho representative of this great peo. pie, and that one will be organised for my benefit. j lie gentleman seems to uudeislaud ail about Uu-pun opcruiious.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, December 3, 1815. Sfnte House The oloiing recommendation of the Governor1! Message, relating to a new State Houae and Public Buildings, cannot full to strike with force the mind of all who have hud an opportunity of inspecting for themselves, the dilapitated, inconvenient and unsafe buildings in which the business of legislation is now transacted. Those who have ever witnessed the public buildings of even the younger Western State, to ay nothing of the magnificent structures of the East, would not consent that the work of the new State House should bo protracted a day longer than is absolutely necessary for the erection of work that will do honor to the character and public spirit of the third State of the Union in point of population and the first in agricultural wealth. The following ii the puasage of the Message alluded to : The necessity for the construction of new Public Buildings for the transaction of the business of the State, and the safe keeping of the Public Records, must be apparent to every observer. The interests of the State, and public opinion, alike demmnd that the work of the new State House should be no longer suspended. The subject is worthy of your immediate attention, and, 1 trust, will not be overlooked. "Mystcriea of Iniquity ("Developments! In our columns of to-day will be found an article from the columns of the U. S. Gazette, in connection with a letter from Hon. John Si.oank, of Wooster, Ohio. This Idler in quoted from the pages of tho forthcoming work nf Calvin Cui.To,on the Life and Times of Henry Clay. It is a single link in a chain of testimony covering 1-10 pages of the work, going to vindicate once aud forever Henry Clay from Uie foul slanders heaped upon him. The testimony pre aented, in a connected form is, as we learn, complete, irresistible; aud must establish the conviction in the minds of the men of this country, thai Henry ('lay has been the victim nf a slander propagated and perpetuated by means that for turpitude and infamy are Unequalled by any thing ever before developed in the political history of this country. The course pursued towards Dr. Witt Custom and Judge White bear no parallel in enormity to that of towards Mr. Clny. We rejoice in our inmost souls, that Henry Clay has lived to see the dark landers exploded. From the publisher, Calvin Colton, we have received a few of the proof sheets of his work on the Life and Times of Henry Clay, in anticipation of its publication. Our only regret is that this work, commenced immediately after the Presidential Election, according to announcements made at that time in the public press, could not have been completed before the death of Gen. Jackson, that he too might have seen the man he pursued with so much malice, rising triumphant above his machinations. Not that we could have wished harm to him, hut that the ends of justice might be fully secured. The work will soon be issued, rininileld mid Lehigh Dank Notes. We are informed that notes on these banks are circulated to aoino considerable extent in Ute northern part of the State and some few of them are seen in this neighborhood. The banks of this city, we are informed, decline receiving them, and as the banks by which they are issued are foreign institutions whose credit is by no means well established, at least in this State, this seems to be the course demanded by prudence, and a proper regard to their duty to the public, which is, as far as practicable, to furnish to the people of the State a currency of unquestionable value. The people of tit is Stale havo already suffered severely from giving circulation to the paper nf foreign banks of doubtful credit. Aud we trust that the banks of this Stat will not aid in giving credit to such paper, e socially where there is reason to believe that it has not been introduced into the State iu the course of ordinary business transactions. flrThc "Union," at Wonhigtoii, announces that Messrs. Blair eV Hives, are not candidates fur Uie printing of Congress, and therefore will not be in their way. We have looked in vain for some expression from the Locofnco press in favor of bestowing the printing of Congress to the lowest hi J tier. This mode nf disjosingof surh work seems to have gained favor very greatly with Eocnfnco in these parts, t litre the lute Mention. Of course there is nothing suspicious in such new born teal. JoilH Bt,LI.,of Tennessee, one of those noble Whigs who never strike their colors aud never say die," has been called upon by a portion nf the Whigs of the Hermitage diitrict, of Tennessee, to allow his name to be used as a candidate for the vacancy in the Congressional delegation in that State. It is supposed he will comply with the call, and in that event tho other Whig named for the post will withdraw. Gen. liar-row, editor of the Dinner, has already expressed his readiness to withdraw, if Mr. Bell consents to run. We shall hail the return of this veteran to Congress, aa a token of brighter diy for the llnmn. Ft rL at Cisrunm. Owing to tho low stage of water in the Ohio Hirer at this time, fuel is very high at Cincinnati, and then is a fear of suffering among the poor. Coal has suddenly run up from II and lit, lu !20, and even IMI cents jar bushel, and ia w iling rapidly at that price. The spirit of speculation has done its part to produce this extraordinary advance, for even the alwolule necessaries of life arc made to administer to human cupidity, and the universal rage fur gain. Such is bona led human nature. Wood h advanced nearly at the saute rute, and is wiling at $3 AO and $4 (Xlpercord. Most of Uie fuel consumed at Cincinnati is boated to thai place, and the unsualty low stage of water, at Uiia season of Uie year, has prevented the laying in of a full stork. Area mid Nor There are some men who would prefer notoriety for tho mischief Uiey can do, rather thnn submit to pass along without obtaining more notice than thousands better men around them secure. They sometimes get into legislative bodies, and we havo a suspicion Uiat aueh are in the body now in session in this city. If called upon to frame a wise and salutary measure requiring an exercise nf mind, reflection and investiga tion, they would shrink from the task in alarm, and br compelled to confess their own deficiencies. Hut they ran find ways ami means of occupying a great deal time, in retarding the adoption of a wise measure with scarcely an exercise of forethonght; they can find a plea for occupying the lloor fifty times a day, and yet do no good either for themselves or others, and such men, when every thing else fails are always ready for the "ayes and noes" even on a question alnrnt snuff- lug out a candle. It has occurred to us that the ap paratus descriN d below by the Boston Transcript, for taking the ayes and noes. Would expedite much Uie labor of a Legislature possessed of such men, and if in order, we would move that a Committee, two at ' least of which shall be taken from Hamilton, be ap pointed lu ascertain the expense of introducing Uie apparatus into the House i "The plan for taking the aves and noes, in all de. liherative bodies in the United States, for which C, Clcn Peebles, of Philadelphia, hna a patent, covers varied form. The plan ho purposes to adopt at present is as follows t Two pulleys or keys are placed within Uie desk of each member a board or slab is placed on Uie clerk's desk, on which is printed the name of each member of the house; slips or slides are placed in this slab, ruuuing parallel to and corresponding wiUi each name. Coinmuntcation is had by means of wires or nth'r material, between the keys in the desk and slides in the hoard. When a vole of "ayes" is called, the members simultaneously touch their key marked "aye," which throws the slide out on tho board, so thai it project beyond his name and the edge f the board ; and in like manner for the m noes." By that arrangement, the clerk can count the vote, announce the result and place the ag. gregate vote on Uie board, all within Uie space of one minute. A slip of pitpcmonlaiuiug the names of every member, to correspond with the names ami slides on the board, is an adjusted, Uiat when the slide are Uimwn out, (which are an pointed aa to receive ink,) an im pression is made Apposite each name ; and thus is the vote recorded for the use of the clerk or printer. Tin slide are so arranged that Ihey can then he returned, Where do they Stand. What do the members from Hamilton, the " un terrified and indomitable " members from the northwest, and their associates of Uie hard stamp in tho present Legislature, think of Uie view here ascribed to Mr. Ton by the Ohio Patriot, and assented to by the Statesman and Ohio Union? Who are these " certain others" whose extreme measures " are ao frequently alluded to by the Union and Statesman? Can tho untcrrified answer ? Coi Tuu's views. -The Ohio Patriot, after re. marking that there i every reason to believe that Mr. Tod does not countenance the prooilion of abandoning, for a time, all discussion of the currency qucHtion, adds: We are equally certain that he would deem it unwiec and untimely to go the length which certain others have suggested. He ia unchangeably in favor of the individual liability of bankers. Let this test be applied to the Whigs in the next legislature. If they reject it, as heretofore, then let them also vote down a proposition for tho unconditional repuat of Uie present monster bank bill. Place these issues before the peo. pie let Ike Democracy rally upon them in pood fed' ing tuxA the result will show a splendid victory. The Whigs have no objection to the issues proposed. Bring them on as thick aud fust as you please, if you are not satisfied with the verdict rendered. More T brunts in the Dnrkl Wc must protest against such ambiguous allusions as are found in the following, from the Ohio Union, a paper Uiat assume with Uie Statesman and Plaindeal. er, to lead the "nnterrifiud democracy" of Ohio. They oannot be justified by any code of warfare known among straight-forward politicians of the present day. Although they arc directed against opponents, the public have a right to know who are their legitimate leaders, and wear the collar of thu leader of all tho faithful : The first suggestion of another mint in place of David Tod, was, we believe, made in this vicinity, by professing peculiar thirds the altruists of this vicinage, the Simon Pure Bank-hutcr. We have long huh pec ted the Bank Influence, of operating through these Impmctieulilrs: more efficient coadjutors they could not obtain than the hp " numo.muniaes" as tho Patriot denominates men of this kidney. They make our parly ridiculous, at all events, whether they bo really insane or only " mad in crnft," Ohio State Ilottrd of Agriculture. We copy thu following notice from thu Ohio Cultivator of Monday last : It will be remembered that an adjourned meeting of the Board will take place at Columbus, ou Wed ties-day, the Kith day of December. As the Legislature will convene on the 1st, this will be in good m ason to consult with the committee and members of thai body in relation to the paiwuge of a law, or laws, for the promotion of Agrie ulture. Let there be a full attendance, and the right spirit manifested by the friends of the cause throughout thu State, and the best result OHIO LEGISLATURE. iay ins exiieeted.

Colonization. We learn from the New York Journal of Commerce that the sum of $17,001) has been subscribed towards the purchase of the only territory not belonging to the American Colonies, between Cape Paliuas and Cipc Mount, a distance along the coast of about Il'lO miles. In thr? proposed purchase is included the famous slave mart of the Gallians. Only $:I M)'J more is required to effect this great object ; and without this additional sum, the $17,000 already subscribed is not binding.

(JT Mr. M nam's remarks on the Printing Rcsolu- tioua, passed this forenoon, will lie given to-morrow. Glorious Temperance Hcvivnl. The Methodist Church was crowded last evening. in compliance with the call previously made on the friends of Temperance and the people of our city. It was just such a meeting as the best friends of Uie good cause have long desired to see in this city, and just such an one as the painful developments around u-t, have seemed to render necessary. Although disappointed in the arrange me nts for music, through the IforU nf a few friends of the cause a circle of whole soilled Woshingtonians, connected with the Methodist Church, were induced to attend and sing some admirable Temperance song. They deserve the thanks of all for their promptitude. Their labors infused new spirit into thu meeting. Kev. Mr. Moony delivered thu opening address. His appeal wo welt timed and well conceived, and all his remarks were delivered and received in the happiest spirit, although he was laboring under a severe indiioition. Mr. Tipton made a few remarks apologiitng for his inability to ad- ilress them owing to hoarseness and a prior engage ment. He pledged himself for another occasion to just such an effort as he is capable of making. Mr, Galloway delivered one of the most powerful addresses we have ever heard from him. He painted in life-like colors the course of many in our city who asKume to be and ought to be models to the young and less layered around them, but who am on the contrary using the influence of wealth, connections and station to breathe a moral pestilence, contaminate tho young, and sap the foundation of a virtuous soci- ty. They set up a standard which must end not onty in degrading themselves hut all around them. They contribute to build up an aristocracy of sots and idlers instead of a circle of worth and intelligence, from which shall emanate a healthy, life-giving influence, diffusing peace and happiness lo all classes and condi tion. They it is, he justly remarked, whore tard Uie progress of the Temperance Heformation. They, who, nf all others should take the lead and miniater at tho altar in every good work and word. We lrut his appeal and admonitions will be heard and felt, aud that the work an happily begun will progress with accelerated force and a yet untold influence for good. Onward: Onward! la now the word. At the close of the addresses TWO HUNDRED and FIVE numc were added to the Pledge. Among the signers were some whom we rejoiced to see taking (heir stand on the Temperance platform. Men with gray locks, and aged matrons, young minses in their teens, some nf our Wirthicsl young men, and even children combined to swell the host of Washing toman Reformers. Another meeting was appointed for Tuesday evening next, at the Second Presbyterian Church, at which time Mr. Tirnii, the eloquent Reformer, aud others, will deliver addresses. The report of Committees are also expected at the next meeting, Reai'tics or Lorororo Rhi.k. It la listed that the Hon. John Chambers, ex-Governor of Iowa, passed through Louisville three or four days ago, on his way to Washington city. It is said that he will, on his arrival at Washington, make a startling exposi tion of the frauds and rascalities of one or more gov ernment agents who have been operating in Iowa. Coanr.i TioR.

A message was received from the House of Hep. resentatives, informing the Senate that the House had disagreed to the amendment of the Senate to the resolution in re! u lion to the postage of members and lias agreed to the resolution of the Senate for the iipjMiintment of a joint select committee to fix the times of holding judicial court. 1 Mr. Perkins moved that the Senate do insist upon it amendments to thu resolution in relation to the postage of members. Mr. Wood called for a division of the question; and tho question turned upon insisting upon the first1 amendment which authorizes the payment by Uie State of postages " on such public documents as shall be ordered to be printed by the General Assembly." 't A discussion ensued, in which Messrs. Kelley, Goddnrd, Ewing, Perkins, Powell and Codding, pur. tic i pa ted. j Mr. Kelley remarked that if he were not at home here, he should be opposed to the payment by the State of the postages of members. But hu recollected having burnt Ins fingers last year, by taking a part in the discussion of this same question ; and he should therefore be careful how he put his finger in that can. die again. He would remark, however, that if the postages on letters was paid by the State, and lhat on , documents was not, he apprehended it would have the effect of greatly enhancing the amount of postage churged to the State. Members wishing to send a locument home, might, under those circumstances, 1 enclose them in the form of a letter, and thus subject the whole to letter postage and thus increase the postages four fold. Mr. Goddnrd said that, if by voting for the motion to insist, he could bring aboutacollissinn between the Houses, whereby tho whole resolution would be de- a ted, he should not lies i tut) how to cast his Vote. Senators tell us of the large amount of their postnge hill. Do they suppose that, if it were understood these postages were to be paid by themselves, they would bear any comparison to their present amount i The "franking privilege " now enjoyed by the members of Congress, is ouu nf great enormity aud in it effect greatly endangers the present law reducing the rntes ef postage. That law i one of thu very few ones panned by Congress, which he regarded as beneficial to the inn of the people. TIi'ih Legislature lant year memorialized Congrese for the passage of that law. With what consistency can we do so, while panning a resolution which gives to ourselves tln priv- lege ol franking letters anu documents f Mr. Ewing said hu was at no loss in relation to the vote he should givuon this resolution. He should rtmnly vote lor it, 1 he government of Ohio is costing the people comparatively nothing. Before the passage ol tlte niMcralile hiiiiilmg " retrenchment law, ours wa the mnct economical government in the world.

His postages at Uie last session amounted to near one hundred dol lars and he was informed that the postage of hi pre- ileceMor in Uiis House at the last session. wasuH ureal. It is out of the question to suppose members could rve here at two dollars a day, and he taxed at thai rate. Much a he loved honors, he was unwilling to pay for them at that rati. Mr. I'erkin said Uiat after members had made all their efforts at economy, they must either adopt this solution, or tall Dark upon the old system, which he ganled a far more exceptionable, b nder the old va in the Speaker wuh allowed this and the nniclice then was, for mcmlcrs to carry their letter and doc uments to him, to lie I ranked ! iNextlhe privilege was xtended to chairmen of committees and this rcliev- it Uie Sneaker somewhat, for the chairman Uien frank- 'd for the balance of the committee. Mr. ('milling was not only willing, but anxious that the resolution should paw in the form in which it came from the House. That body contain twice the number of Senators upon this lloor; and they have as oou a chance at least as ourselves, to judge of Uie feeling of the people. This is a small business ; and I tin Senate was driven with other bunine. In ihould think it a useless waste of lime to lie discti- ing this but as wc have yet but little to do, he did nut know but we might as well talk about Una, as a- iioiit anything else. The question was then taken on the motion to Inst, and resulted ayes l.r, noca H. So the Senate receded from Una amendment.

So the Senate receded from this amendment. A resolution wo received from the House of Rep resentatives, for the appointment of a joint select committee of IU members on the part nf the House, ami mcmlier upon the part of the Senate, to fix tin- tunes of holding courts for the ensuing year.

A mnsnnge wu here received from the Senate receding from it amendment to the Joint Resolution relative to the postage of member. Mr. Cowan moved Uiat the resolution, relative to the House printing, be taken up; agreed to. An amendment was offered, subjecting the printing under tho resolution Iplho provision of the act passed Dee., IH44-WSL . Mr. Cowan moved to amend by striking out the whole resolution and inserting: Hcsolred, That Uie Clerk of the Houe be directed to have such printing done as may bo ordered by the House, upon such term and considerations a he may deem reasonable and just, until otherwise provided for. Mr. Olds spoke in opposition to the resolution. He supposed the object of all this wa to give the printing Hums puojisner or uie uino state Journal, lie, (uie publisher,) had done the dirty work of his party and now must have hi pay. If the majority were the friend of economy they profess to be, let them retain tho original resolution a amended on Monday. It the amendment mst ottered was adopted, he should offer another providing fur giving the printing to the lowewt bidder. He was not going to favor a proposition empowering the Clerk to nquonder away the public money for printing, in such manner as he might nose. lie concluded by innvmir a call of the Mount;; he intended to have a full vote on Uiis propo sition.

The question on strikinir out bcinir nut was deci ded in tiie alliruiative ; ays 41, noes ;tl. I he question then turned upon incrtuifr the amend ment proKed by Mr. Cowen. Mr. td moved to amend the amendment so as to provide that Uie Clerk shall give the printing to the lowest bidder. Mr. Olds continued and said that aathe conductor T the Ohio Stale Journal had slnined and probably would continue to abuse the member of the minority, they miil have their pay for it. He had been told, however, that Ihey would not do it for lens than had lieen demanded by Medury, and he winhed to see if it were so. Nothing surprised him more than the change lhat had been effected, in the minds of members, on this question, since Monday. He presumed however, that it wa in accordance with the dictate nf the tin-pan. He had been told that it was said that the Whigs hnd learned to submit to these tin-pan proceeding from the former practice of the Democracy. Nosiieh precedent, however, would justify the practice, lie called for the ayes aud noes on his amendment. Lost, aye 'Mt noe 41.

Mr. iiiggm made some remarks which eould not be heard. Mr. Noble said tlte minority were expressing their astonishment at the course of the majority on this printing business. He was equally astonished at the course of the minority. Their opinions had undergone a great change in the short stiaee o a twelve month lesl winter they voted No ! No ! on every proposition in reiiuee ute eoatoi printing; now they went it Ay Ay ! Just as if ihey hnd never learned to say No in their lives. He thought their eternal prating ahnul eonaistency rainr with a heautilul grace I mm them He advised them to try to remember their own course last winter. He should lie obliged to remind Utem of it, it Ihey did not succeed. Mr. Fiinn enquired whether the injunction obtained by Mr. Mcdary did not cover the printing which it wa proposed tn have done under the resolution now hefore Um Mouse f Mr. Cowen replied that it eould effect only the parties to the act of Isst winter. The present House were no parties lo thai law. 1 lie imunctinn wa on. erntive only upon by the officers of Suite, and stayed llietr proceeding under direction ol Ihe law ol the Legittlatorc. )) was not disposed tn discuss this question nf printing himself. He had no objection to others uttering llieir view. Heconmdcrrd the pre sent proposition a temporary one merely, under which the House eould procure it neeeary printing, till some other action might be had on the matter; either under the direction of Ihe proposed joint committee of the Senate, or under Ihe law of lal winter in case the proper Court shall not suit in the pending injunction. The minority might take the ave and noca on every question, he should not compfain. Mr. M tioi said it wa quite proper for gentlemen in Uie minority tn express, with freedom, their opinions in relation lo all measure promised by Ihe majority, ll was also proper, Uiat their conduct should be regulated by their own sense of what was due to the in-selves, a men and member nf tin House. Now the proposition before us ia a very simple one, having its origin in Ihe following ami instances, lly an act passed at the last session of thu General Asembly, the whole subject of public printing was provided Itir and carefully reguUled. The great principle of that law was lo secure to Ihe Male the bctieht nt competition ill the future execution of Ihe public printing. But Ute people have been deprived nf the ad v ail t aire of the priuctph of competition, which is the great regulator of prices, by a writ of injunction sued out by Mr. Medary, late Printer for Ute Stale, by winch uieontccra, to whom the execution wa Bounded, were restrained from making any contract for the public printing. Ami hence a law, intended tn secure a wise economy, in a branch nf Ihe public service, which had become, in the judgment of the peo ple, quite Ion extravagant, was unpendcd,and its object IV u ira led for tlte present at least. We met here under circumstance of peculiar cm. harraMiitent, ocenmnned bv Ihe writ nf inninrtion is-Rued by Ihe Supreme Court, on Ihe applies! ion nf a gentleman who ha long lieen Ihe organ of Ihe party lhat now reprosehe us wilh departing from the law of last session, and disregarding all our profession of economy. There ia certainly very little ground fbr thr minor-ity In reort to the language of hauler, and In inter pow nhfltructione In Ihe passage nfa resolution, which i intruded to make only a tentrry provision, fur so much printing as is imhpenMy nrcrsmry for lite ' despatch of Ute public huMiicsa. it wo ooute m plated, as he understood, to make oth er arrangements, to secure Uie printing for Ihe two nouses, uurmg uie session, De knew not the precise tenor ot Ihe proposed action of Uie other branch. We should not be too precipitate in our movements on this subject; nor did he deem it expedient to act definitely, until the decision of the Court was rendered on the injunction, now before it, and which suspended the law of last session from going into operation. 1 he rcBiKinsitnlity ol adiuting Una matter rested upon lite majority in the House ; and he had no doubt that the mujurity was ready to undertake it. ne was oe run uiy ready, tor ins own part. They would unquestionably make a just and reasonable contract, in an arrangement for the execution of the public printing, and one which they would be both ready and willing to discus here and before Uie people. The resolution before the House contemplated a he had already remarked, a mere temporary arrange- mem, won; u joigiu continue, mr a snort period of a week or two, or possibly to the end of Ute session, which would be but a few weeks at the utmost. Fur ther action would bo necessary to procure Uie printing of the journals and law, but it was not to be sup. posed Uiat Uiis, or thu previous printing which might be required, could be procured for terms quite as libe. rol a thoHe which would bo accepted under a long uoirnuiui Mrvuiai years. This, continued Mr. M., is a vmall matter about which to lake up the time of the House; and even if, as the gentleman of tho minority supposed, Uie printing should go to Uie State Journal office, he could discover no great public calamity in the fact especially a the opposing press had enjoyed Uie monopoly of it for some ten or a dozen years. lie thought it would be a happy circumstance if gentlemen, in the discussion of the I louse, could get into the habit of imupting to others, dillernig from litem in politics, motive equally good wilh those claimed by themselve. The intercourse of the House would be rendered much more agreeable by such a course, and its dignity much better sustained. Why should it be supposed that any or the whole of the member were knave or hypocrites? Wliy im-pugn their motives as if they were incapable of generous sentiments, ond of honesty? Hu appealed to his own heart for thu purity of hi own intentions, and for the sincerity of his action. It was not too late lor uieinoer to learn that there may be honest difference of opinion, which difference nre neither indicative of insincerity or dishonesty.

The motion tn strike out prevailed, whereupon Uie committee rose and reported. The bill, wiUi Ute pending amendments, waa laid on tho table. A message wa received from the Senate concurring in several resolution of Ute House, via : relative to appointing a committee to report a bill fixing Uie time of holding the Judicial Courts for the year to appoint a committee to procure the printing of the General Assembly; also, submitting a resolution directing the printing of ftOOO extra copies of Uie Governor a Message in English, and 3000 copies in German.Mr. Olds moved to strike out nOOU and insert 3000; also, to strike out the &HH) and insert JiOOO. Mr Trimble of Highland, hoped tlte House would neither agree to thu amendment of the gentleman from Pickaway, nor pass the resolution. There existed no public iteccsRity for the further publication of the message. It had already been widely dissemi. nnted through the fiewpcr,and is now m the hands of a large portion of Ute people of tlte Slate. Before the printing asked for could be done, the document would be read by every one who desired lo read it. The House at its last session very properly refused tn print extra copies of the message. There was now no good reason for departing from its example ; on the contrary, the duty which we owe to a people bur. denrd with taxation require of ua a rigid system of economy in our expenditure. He desired tn prac tice upon that aystem, and had determined tn do so a far a consistent with the high character and dignity of the legislature and the people. He was surprised lhat a proposition to incur tin needle expense should come from gentlemen who had been preaching econo. my wilh imminent danger to Uieir lungs, for the last three days, during the discussion on Uie printing nf Ihe House.' It seemed to him at the lime, very much ke Sntan rebuking sin. Not that he admitted Uiat the Whigs had sinned or intended to sin, in tins mat. her of the printing. I hey had mane no loitu prnte. sion of economy, but they would practice it, so far as they could. They needed no advice from the minority, nor did they think they could profit by the in. Nlructmn of men who never did practice what Ihey now profess who had, or whose partixan friends had swindled the Slate nut of thousand, aye, million of the public money. They, (Ute Whig,) intended to employ honet and capable men to do Uie public work, and In have it done well, and upon reasonable terms, and would give it to men in whom they hnd confidence. They could not consistently with Uicirduty,ortheir duly to the people, consent lo let ihe public printing go into the hand nf Sam. Medary or his satellite. Whatever bargain might lie mode with that man, neither guard or restraints would prevent lum, so "hi had he grown in iniquity, from somehow mNimgnig to cheat them, in spite of thciusclvc. He underwood loo well Ihe game of " oasse quire," and "constructive charm s, lo suit the nuriHwe of the honest por tion of the House. Should lie (Mr. T.) aid in giving the printing of the Hialrtna man whohn gmwn rirh by cheating the people of their money, the Democrats, well a Whiff "i ' conamucney, would unite in scouting him limit the county. Neilm-r would ne l .) consent to give uie pun. lie printing In any of Sam Medary tool who were JiRiigutg about the Hall hoping to entrap the Whig in to a posilion which would conniel the reception of rods from Uiem and whose humbug bids had been read here In teach the Wlngteconmny. They may Ik-honeat men, these hanger on, lint il they hud pn.imeii ny uie lemon of their principal, they would tml fail to cheat alo. He had voted againat all the propositions of tho gentleman from Pickaway, ottered as amendment to the resolution passed this morning, requiring the Clerk to procure the printing of the House to be done until otherwise ordered. He knew that in Uie course of a few days, there must be joint sction of the two Houses upon this subject. It seemed to him perfectly ridiculous for Uiis Houae to send it Clerk out to hawk about the printing of this House among hungry ..... B v.voi. tie anew, too, mat soma of Uie person waiting to make bids for this work were irresponsible persons, without even a press with which to do tho work. We have done as we had a ritrht to do in ennfidmw to the Clerk the power of carrying out, what he knows to be the wish and determination of every Whig member of this House to have tho work done upon fair lerins and in a proper manner. We have listened patiently for three days to the charge, made by gentlemen, impugning the motive, and misrepresenting the actions of Uio majority on Uiis floor, feeling perfectly secure in the integrity of our mouve,and the correct-ness of our action, and willing to irust the result of that action to the judgment of the people. This wa the first proposition to lest the sincerity of all parties on the question of economy, and he hoped all might unite on common ground in the matter. If all cuuld unite in practising as well as preaching economy, it would form a new era in the history of the state, which would be a the sunlight to the darkness of the pant. Mr. Olda wn rejoiced at the evidence of inteirritv on the part of the gentleman from Highland. He an w uu wo sincere, ny in countenance, tla was glad thai Uie gentleman was kicking out of the trace. He thought another tin-pan would have to be called to whip htm iu. The gentlemen had doubtless learned hi opinion of Sum. Medary from Whig papers. Mr. Trimble replied that he was certainly under oh, ligations to the gentleman, for his compliment to his integrity. He regretted that lie wa not sufficiently acquainted wilh the gentleman lo return them. Hu would be be tier able, toward the close of the session, to tell him what bethought of his integrity. The gentleman was mistaken in supposing that ho had received his opinions of Sam. Medary from Whig newspapers. He hod been indebted, in part, to tho Democratic leaders in his region of country for his opinions of thai gentleman. It hud been customary in his county, and in other portions of Ihe country, in Ute year 1HJ2, during Uio memorable war ujwn tho subject of the currency, (with which he believed the Dr. wa some what conversant,) fur portion of tho Democracy to speak of that gentleman in strong terms-of condemnation. He felt perfectly justified iu all ho had said about him, by what he had heard, a Uiuusand time repeated, by his own purtixan. The gentleman had manifested an extraordinary sympathy fur Air. Medary. They had been making speeches, making amendment and calling the ayes and uue fur three day to excite sympathy for lum, arouse suspicion against Ute Whig and make capital fur themselves. 'Iheir speeches were fur Buncombe. He thought gentlemen had mistaken Uieir Democratic constituent ; he knew Uiey had mitakcn his, if Uiey upKed they could make capital for themselves or ugauist other by talking about the injustice dune Medary or any of his men, by nut giving Uiem Uie printing of tin House, 'ihe honeat Democrats of thu country who labored for a living, pretty generally believed Medury had grown rich enough already by Uie public printing, and Uiey very naturally felt thai it would lie belter fur Uiem that their taxes should be di minished by an honest adiiimistraliun of public oil air, than that Medury or any body else should be eiinchtd at their cxiieliso. The Dr. is very unfair and uncharitable in another mutter. He adopts a very unfair rule of judging of men. That of judging other by himself. He Uimka tm-pati oiHTiiiiuu will be necessary to teach me how to act as one of tho representative of this great peo. pie, and that one will be organised for my benefit. j lie gentleman seems to uudeislaud ail about Uu-pun opcruiious.
